This particular red climbing rose is about 8 years old, and I ordered it from Jackson & Perkins Roses online. The bare-root rose bush arrived looking like a broken, brown stick. I stuck it in the ground, and hoped for the best.
It lazily climbs the fence each year, with red blooms poking through to the gravel lane that provides access to the other four homes in our neighborhood. The roses greet all who walk by, and provide a lovely scent as we lean over the fence to talk to our neighbors.
